  “Lance Henriksen privately vowed to quit acting if his role in this film didn’t succeed, as it followed years of minor roles. This turned out to be one of his most successful performances.” 
    
  “In both the standard and special edition versions, the fifteen-minute countdown at the film's climax is exactly fifteen minutes long.” 
    
  “A deleted scene shows Ripley's daughter's portrait, which features Elizabeth Inglis, Sigourney Weaver's real-life mother. This scene was restored in the director's cut.” 
    
  “Al Matthews, who plays the Marine sergeant, was the first black Marine to be promoted to sergeant in the field during his service in Vietnam.” 
    
  “Sigourney Weaver’s Academy Award nomination for Best Actress was the first ever for an actress in an action film role.”

  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  The Dark Knight Rises is a 2012 superhero film directed by Christopher Nolan, marking the conclusion of his Batman trilogy. Set eight years after The Dark Knight, Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) has retired as Batman, living in isolation.

As Bane's plan unfolds, Bruce is forced to confront his past, physical limitations, and the legacy of Gotham’s protector. The film explores themes of redemption, resilience, and sacrifice, blending action with emotional depth and complex character arcs. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Nolan described the central theme of "The Dark Knight Rises" as "pain," in contrast to "fear" in "Batman Begins" and "chaos" in "The Dark Knight." 
    
  “To avoid leaks, Christopher Nolan chose to verbally share the film's ending with the cast rather than providing written scripts.” 
    
  “To make Bane appear taller than his co-stars, Tom Hardy, who stands at 5'9", wore lifts that added three inches to his height.” 
    
  “The line "That's a lovely, lovely voice" was improvised by Tom Hardy during a scene at approximately 1 hour 28 minutes in the film.” 
    
  “Tom Hardy revealed that the most challenging aspect of filming was the fight scenes. Despite being a huge Batman fan, he said it felt strange to be "beating up [his] childhood hero."”

  Mikhail Aleksandrovich Vrubel (1856-1910) was a painter whose art has been described as a Symbolist and Proto-Expressionist. He exerted a tremendous influence on Russian avant-garde painters. After graduating from the Academy of Fine Art in St. Petersburg, Vrubel made many trips to Italy and earned his living restoring medieval art treasures. This greatly influenced Vrubel's choice of subject matter, although he was also heavily influenced by the literature of his own country, which was then in full flower. The magnificent full-colour reproductions in this book of the Russian master, whose work deserves to be far better known in the West, will be a revelation to all who are unfamiliar with his work and a delight to the enthusiast.

His art often incorporated religious and classical themes, and his use of perspective and realism helped to establish new standards in European art.
